1 month in - no routine/schedule?

MNheidi · March 2010

I'm still feeding on demand but it just seems really random. At night, she gives us a couple of good long stretches but throughout the day? She'll eat every 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours - I just never know.

Is this good/okay? When can I start seeing a pattern? I EP'd w/ the boys and they ate every 3 hrs like clockwork...

I don't think we had any routine then either. If she wanted the breast I gave it to her, and continue to feed on demand (although now at 13 months it's not as often). I could never answer the question of how often she nursed during the day because it was never the same from one day to the next!

Yeah, we are at two months and still no schedule.

She's still a newborn and too young to be put on any schedule. Feed on demand.

Don't worry about schedules until at least 12 weeks and even then, you shouldn't worry too much about it...or talk to you doctor. Many have varying opinions about this but at one month you're find. Feed on demand.

I've always fed on demand - I think it's the best way to encourage your supply to stay strong.

my son is 6months and i still feed him on demand. ?However, he is a horrible sleeper. ?Not sure if its lack of a schedule or just how he is... ?I would encourage demand feeding till at least 2-3months so you supply can become regulated.
